Heidi Baker was in burnout mode.
At the time, she considered working at K-mart and leaving her call to ministry. I witnessed her life being radically transformed. I remember when she came from Mozambique to our church in Toronto; she was so exhausted. "I was burned out. Even though I had a doctorate in systematic theology, I did not want to teach theology," she said in a CBN news interview. "I literally wanted to work at K-mart. I was so tired."
Now, Heidi and her husband Roland lead IRIS Global, a ministry that began several thousand churches: "Jesus took the 'no' from me—the eyes, the burning eyes of Jesus. Now, I have been to 109 nations, preaching this glorious Gospel," Heidi says.
When she first came to our church, she was spiritually drained and physically ill with double pneumonia... (more)
I was in a time of corporate worship and the Lord spoke this to me: "I've brought you out, I've brought you through and I'm about to bring you into."
I believe this is exactly what God is doing for His people in this hour. He has delivered us out of captivity, brought us through the fire and now, in this season, He is bringing many into their promise!
When God delivered the children of Israel out of captivity, He didn't just leave them in the wilderness. The Lord brought them out and brought them through the wilderness so that He could bring them into their Promised Land.
I sense so strongly in my spirit that this is a season where many are about to be brought out of the wilderness and into the promise... (more)
God often speaks to me just before I wake, and recently, I woke with a simple phrase in my spirit: "Middle East winds, Holy Spirit winds"—6 words to be precise. At face value the phrase didn't seem like an earth-shattering revelation. And yet, contained within these six words is a revelation of profound heavenly and geopolitical change soon to take place.

In this season, God is refining and strengthening the Body of Christ. He is revealing weaknesses in the infrastructure and preparing a beautiful Bride full of character and love. God is encouraging us to choose Him and ask for wisdom as we process the things in our lives. He is a good Father that longs to instill identity in us and release an abundance of blessing on us. If you are sowing or plowing seeds, God wants to bless you in your steps of faith, no matter how small. The breakthrough you are contending for is not far beyond your reach; keep waiting expectantly for Him.
Prepared Bride

 [ChristianHeadlines.com] For a number of years, my devout mother prayed for my sisters and me. She often sat us down on her bed and tried her best to reach our hearts with words that, honestly, went in one ear and out the other. This proved to be a great test of her faith. Time after time, I mechanically nodded in outward agreement while staring blankly out the window, wishing it would end. I learned not to disagree or raise an objection, only because it would have prolonged what my teenaged brain considered to be "torture...(more)
